DJ Akademiks Backs Adin Ross After Playboi Carti Speaks on Awkward Stream

Not every collaboration turns out well in the world of online personalities and music stars. Playboi Carti recently shared his thoughts during a call on Kai Cenat’s livestream, discussing his previous experience with Adin Ross. Carti revealed that a 2023 stream with Ross didn’t go as smoothly as he had hoped, noting that their energies didn’t match. He candidly said, “I ain’t like that Adin Ross stuff, bro,” clarifying that their styles hadn’t aligned during the stream. Although he insisted that he didn’t harbor any bad feelings toward Adin, he also stressed that their interaction felt awkward.

Carti said it wasn’t about Ross’s entertainment value or lack of excitement; it was simply a case of them not clicking. He said, “Honestly, he’s just not my type of n**a. So it’s gon’ be awkward, you feel me? And it’s cool. Everybody ain’t… You feel me?” His remarks quickly sparked discussions online, with fans debating whether Carti was being fair or too dismissive. DJ Akademiks stepped in to support Adin Ross, emphasizing that just because two personalities don’t hit it off well doesn’t mean one is to blame. Akademiks has always strongly advocated for content creators who connect music artists with new audiences.

Adin Ross has become quite well-known, often hosting big names from the music industry on his streams. While not every interaction will be a perfect match, his influence on the online culture and music scene is significant. Akademiks defending Ross highlights an important truth, sometimes, the chemistry isn’t there, and that’s perfectly okay. Ultimately, Playboi Carti’s comments weren’t meant to hurt anyone, but they did spark a larger conversation about how internet personalities engage with popular artists. Whether Carti and Adin Ross will work together again remains to be seen, Akademiks isn’t shy about standing up for streamers in the hip-hop world.

“Fade Into You” by Jamie Alimorad shares a shimmering dare to nostalgic heartbeats

From the spontaneous dare of his inaugural release in 2025, Jamie Alimorad skillfully orchestrates his latest sonic adventure, “Fade Into You.” This track sweeps listeners into a distinctly uplifting auditory experience, featuring intricate rhythmic guitar work at the core that demonstrates Alimorad’s hallmark melodic craftsmanship. His nuanced delivery, imbued with an authentic conviction, poignantly captures the overwhelming addition to a touch of love and the vivid sensations it evokes. The palpable intimacy conveyed through his vocals glides effortlessly over a dynamically layered beat, creating an emotional resonance that elevates this piece beyond a mere club anthem, transforming it into a heartfelt confession whispered directly to the listener.

Conceived during a frantic six-hour session in a recording studio in Van Nuys, CA, the song emerged partly as a dare necessitated by an urgent escape from a sudden chaotic home flood. The track exuded a sense of organic urgency as Alimorad collaborated with producer Jordan Sherman. You can almost hear the sounds and humming as they layer guitars and drum machines in a burst of creativity. This sense of spontaneous process gives “Fade Into You” its raw edge, contrasting intriguingly with the polished sheen of modern EDM.

Lyrically, Alimorad leans into vulnerability, the kind that comes from confronting uncertainties in the glow of a neon-lit speaker. Lines like “Now I feel I’m addicted to your touch; your love… I lost control…” soar above the swelling crescendos, bridging the sincerity of the singer-songwriter with the kinetic rush of dance music. This synthesis represents a masterstroke that melds the storytelling heart of pop/rock with the euphoric release of modern electronic music.
